INTRODUCTION1 and architectural history studies carried out in this field. The studies of historians such as UVOD Gültekin Yıldız and Ufuk Adak are important since they shed light on the reforms carried out in the Ottoman criminal system during the 19th century and its spatial reflection from historians’ point of view.5 On the other hand, architectural research re- garding prison spaces is important, not only in terms of examining the transformation of the criminal justice spaces of the Ottoman Empire, but also in terms of providing a new perspective for reading 19th century Ottoman architecture independent of westernization and decline paradigms. This is only reflected to a limited extent in ar- chitectural history concerning this newly dis- covered area in 19th century Ottoman history. Virtually nothing has been published on Ottoman period prison architecture except for a very few studies6 focusing on individual prison buildings. However, 115 projects, be- gun or planned in many provinces of Ana- tolia, obtained from the Directorate of State Ottoman Archive (hereinafter DABOA) for the dissertation completed by Sezer, illustrate that the construction of prisons was per- ceived and implemented as a major transfor- mation project.7

This study focuses on three unrealized proj- ects for a Central Prison, the construction of which was planned inside the Istanbul Yedi- kule Fortress, since the need for a modern prison had become a significant political problem during the reign of Abdülhamid II. The selection of Yedikule Fortress, the notori- ous prison and execution place of many no- table historical figures, as the location for a modern prison adhering to western stan- dards is especially significant. Among the proposed central prison projects, the first one is a campus, designed by architect Au- gust Carl Friedrich Jasmund.8 The second one is Ferik Blunt Pasha’s9 one-page prison plan presented as an addition to his report. While Blunt Pasha’s project was previously as- sumed not to be in the archive, and therefore was never published before, it was discov- ered by the authors and is published for the first in this article. The third project is an ex- ample of a radially planned project that is assumed to have been done by Architect Kemaleddin Bey10 and was published by Yıldırım Yavuz, but must be reinterpreted in the light of the two other projects previously designated for this area.11 It is believed that, those three proposals for Yedikule Central Prison can be evaluated as evidence for a

acted in 1838, followed by others in 1840, 1851 and 1858.18 The 97-item decree issued in 1880 under the title “Regulation on the Inter- nal Affairs of the Prisons in Memalik-i Mahru- sa-i Şahane”19, was the most comprehensive regulation regarding prisons. With this de- cree, prisons were separated into three groups: “detention centers, prisons, and cen- tral prisons”. The construction of a detention center and a prison for each township, shire and province, as well as of central prisons in appropriate locations for prisoners sen- tenced to more than five years, were similarly stipulated. The decree not only prescribed certain standards for prisoners, but also made for new arrangements such as the sep- aration of prisoners according to their crimes, and the creation of areas for study (work- shops), of special wards for juvenile and fe- male prisoners, and of separate areas for worship and for the treatment of patients.20

called the “Inscriptions Tower” (Kitabeler Kulesi). To the left and right of the entrance are rooms reserved for soldiers and guards (Fig. 8). A large area, which can be described as a courtyard, is reached after the officers’ rooms. The corridor opposite the entrance connects the two blocks that make up the prison. To the left and right of this corridor are four isolation cells and six lavatories. The ground floor also features twenty workshops and four storage rooms reserved for prison- ers. Since there are no wards on the ground floor but a few isolation cells indicate that this floor is the working floor reserved for prisoners. Although not visible in the ground floor plan, there are two staircases that ap- pear quite clearly in the second floor plan, located in the courtyard, between the work area and the lavatories. Good ventilation and natural lighting have been provided even in isolation cells, each having two windows. The upper floor plan (Fig. 9) of the prison features thirty wards, each for ten prisoners, four iso- lation cells, three guardrooms and six lavato- ries. The area colored blue appears to be a gallery following the corridor in the middle, reserved for circulation. It was probably planned to provide control and surveillance between floors. It is not possible to deter- mine whether there is a special place for women or children in the prison building since only the phrase “prisoner” is used in the units in the prison plans. The other buildings within the city walls can Fig. 10 Hospital Ground Floor Plan: B - hospital, Sl. 10.

Jasmund’s project, the first campus- prison plan designed with a holistic under- standing, is the first example of the quest to meet the basic needs of prisoners, in line with the prison reforms enacted due to the decrees of Abdülhamid II. The buildings ac- companying the prison building clearly show that steps were taken towards meeting the health, hygiene and other needs of prisoners. The existence of a place of worship that in- cludes a church and a synagogue can be seen as a sign that non-Muslim prisoners are also PROSTOR 370 2[60] 28[2020] 360-377 C. KATIPOğLU ÖZMEN, S.

Single sheet, 78.5x56.5 cm in size, proposal was titled “A map of the division and arrangement of the prison com- plex to be built, as mentioned in the congra- tulation letter I have presented about pris- ons”. The plan bears the signature “sultan’s aide-de-camp, gendarmerie civil servant Ferik Blunt” and his seal. Ferik Blunt Pasha’s pro- posal for Yedikule Central Prison is a complex that includes several units as well as the main prison building with a radial plan. The complex is located in a quadrangular courtyard and contains a main prison build- ing with a separate courtyard in the center, a hospital, a police station, wards for guards, a mosque, lodging for the imam, a bakery, a kitchen, a bath, a warehouse and lodgings for Fig. 13 Administrative Building Ground Floor Plan: Fig. 14 Administrative Building Second Floor Plan: C - administrative offices, 11 - inner courtyard, C - administrative offices, 10 - room for prison prison warden.

Similar to Jasmund’s proposal, the prison model put forward by Ferik Blunt Pasha also reflects the new regulations in Europe and America. The design of the prison as a com- plex with side functions, the construction of workshops for prisoners’ work, and isolation cells are reflections of this conception. One spatially prominent change in Blunt Pasha’s proposal is that the blocks containing the cells make the separation of prisoners ac- cording to the severity of their crimes possi- ble. Although this separation is not spelled out in the explanation on the plan, it can be said that this separation was considered be- cause Blunt Pasha’s report emphasized the importance of this separation.44 Like the center of the prison.
